    It’s kinda funny that it’s only an American phenomenon about dad look of NB.
    Here in Europe they considered as a sick looking shoe.

      At skateparks you can see skaters of any age wearing any random NB Numeric, but I think maybe Christian gets the vibe because of the white trainers (non NB skate shoes) so many dads wear in the US lol

      I love the new balance skate team, and i think that has completely changed my mindset on the new balance N so when i look at them i think they look absolutely sick. Also the fact that many young ppl wear new balances now so my brain can distinguish between the old dad shoe and the skate shoe

    I skated three pairs of the 440H in a row. I liked them, but they got a little floppy for my tastes after a few weeks. Definitely broke the laces in them. It looks like you didn't skate them long enough to fully judge the durability. 😄

  • @getbuckgetbuck
    @getbuckgetbuck Рік тому +4

    Solid honest review! I've also considered slashing the N off every pair of the 440 highs I've had. I'm on my 5th pair and they're 🤌 but I agree they're not legendary. Prob a better high top cup out there (Trudger) but these are still solid shoes.

  • @jpleon314
    @jpleon314 Рік тому

    Do the NM22, the vulc shoes are great with better insoles AND the N logo is recessed holes into the suede not an N patch! They look so sick

  • @ZTFlames
    @ZTFlames Рік тому +2

    New Balance have that insole issue cause they use the same tech on their running shoes that have more support. Even though they dull out the most of the standard wickening for sweat in the newer numeric insoles, the material feels skiddish and stagnent after sweatin in them.
    Cleaning out the insoles with water cleans up all the dead skin cells and sweat that thin your feet from skidding but the impact control is not in the insole but the outsole C-Cap construct.
    I love N.B. for the longevity though. They are the strongest for skating so far that I can tell.

      For sure. Idk why people even skate Nike's anymore. I get ollie holes in Nike SB Blazers within a couple of sessions. Meanwhile NB 306's have lasted me over 2 months!! Only problem is the sole doesnt last very long on those. I have the 440's atm, and they seem to hold up great aswell. Especially in the sole. They are slightly wide, and as mentioned in this review, the insole is... terrible. I put Nike SB Blazer insole in mine

    I loved 440 highs until i rolled my ankle in them. Since they have no rigid plastic in the heel the mesh and leather get really soft when sweaty and they start to feel kinda like a sock so it gets easy to roll your ankle. They are very grippy, more so than Nike in my opinion.
